Linux users can delete folders (including content) that are not shared with them
Dropbox Business Standard with multiple users. Folders that are not shared with a user still show as an empty folder for that user. They can access the folder but not the files - it looks like an emp...
Hello Здравко . That is better in some ways and I'll actually leave it set to "Only admins". You can see the top level Dropbox directory is now readonly.
However, this means even I can't create a top-level folder, even though I am admin. I can't even create one in the browser interface, the option is disabled!
It's OK, I can set it to "Everyone", create top-level folders and then set it back to "Only admins". It will be rare that I need to do that.
When set as "Only admins" and a user adds write access to the directory they can still delete an unshared folder but it only deletes it locally and it reappears at the next sync. So set at "Only admins" is much safer, if a little inconvenient.
Still not nice that an empty directory is shown but I can live with that.
Thank you for your help.
